Chapter 417: Embrace the Banquet
Finally, we get to the point.
Xia Yan gathered the melon seed shells at hand into a small pile.
"Of course you can. You can wait until next time and go through the portal for recruiting customers to Ridai Island. It's close to the supermarket and there's a self-service purchasing machine at the door. You can choose whatever you want."
To save trouble, she raised her voice to ensure that the guests gathering behind her could hear her.
They come here just for supplies. When people are so hungry that they can't eat, they will naturally give it a try if they can grab a glimmer of hope.
She understood this very well.
So Xia Yan knew very well that if he did not possess the strength that made others unable to move, he would have been torn to pieces and eaten clean.
However, if she were to fall into such a desperate situation, she might do something even more ruthless. Human nature has long been gradually buried in the repeated births and deaths.
Xia Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the slender white fingers, the plump crescent moon, and the healthy pink color. It was the physique that he most desired to have when he was doing a mission.
I didn't expect that now that I'm in a bad situation, it will come to me without asking.
All I can say is that everything is ironic and all pursuits are meaningless.
There were bursts of cheers behind her, as if she had caught a big gift package thrown by God with her own hands.
She laughed along, her eyes moving from one face to another, watching for various expressions of joy, sorrow, and relief.
When their eyes met hers, someone anxiously asked, "We haven't seen the promotional screen at our base in ages. Could you please do us a favor and give us another chance? We're really short of food and desperately need emergency supplies!"
"Yeah, I've only been there once. Even if I go there now, I won't get any news."
"If I had known this would happen, I would have fought for it."
Although several people said this, they couldn't help but complain in their hearts. It's not their fault for being cautious. No one would dare to go in directly, right?
It’s like you are lying at home, and suddenly a screen appears in front of you, telling you that there is a gold mountain inside, and you should go and dig it up. But in a social environment where people die and disappear all the time, who would dare to go?
I just didn't expect that this time it was real.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yan frowned slightly.
The promotion was random, and she had never checked how many virtual screens would appear at a time.
Seeing her in such a dilemma, they felt even more disappointed.
Mr. Shen, who was standing by, stopped watching the show and suggested, "Why don't we have them fill out a material purchase order now, leave their address, and then have Xiao Chu send someone to deliver it. We can hold on until we see the promotional screen again."
"Yes, yes, that's a good idea."
"First solve the problem of feeding the population, we can wait later!"
Xia Yan also thought it was okay. She had just opened the backend and checked that if they wanted to accurately target the promotion, they would need to fill in specific information. There were so many guests here, and each person represented a base. If they really had to fill it out one by one, it would be more convenient this way.
"Let's follow Mr. Shen's advice."
She took out the purchase order and distributed it to everyone.
Everyone's hands were shaking as they held the lists. They hurriedly found a seat, took out the pens they carried with them and started filling in the numbers.
Since it was their first time purchasing goods, they were not sure how much Xia Yan could provide. They gestured and filled in a 3, then after thinking about it, crossed it out and wrote a 5, saying to themselves that this should be about the same.
Mr. Shen, who came over to look, was so angry that his nose was crooked.
He pointed to the number 5 and said angrily, "The unit didn't even write it down. Are 5 boxes enough for everyone in your base? You didn't even know how to open your mouth when the food was served."
The man was dumbfounded. "5555 boxes? I counted them individually..."
Mr. Shen’s eyes went dark.
The man hesitated: "Then I'll write 50 boxes...will she have enough in stock?"
President Shen said angrily, "Write 5,000 boxes! And mark it as unlimited flavors. Instant noodles, bread, sausages, and self-heating rice will all follow this standard!"
The person sitting at the same table pricked up his ears and listened with fear. Seeing that he was being scolded badly, the tip of his pen trembled as he added three zeros after the 5 and made a note.
After filling out the purchase form, they didn't dare to look at it a second time, nor did they dare to count how many people had filled out the form. No matter which number it was, as long as it was multiplied by 5,000, it would be a huge number.
They didn't dare to think about this amount carefully.
So, everyone scrambles to put it on the top - what if there is no stock at the back?
But when they saw Xia Yan take it expressionlessly and show no reaction to the number on it, the stone in everyone's heart fell to the ground.
The job is half done.
After that, just wait for the letter.
Chu Wanfu waited until they had finished their operations, then patted the microphone and took control of the situation to start the first lecture of the dinner.
Xia Yan never liked this kind of official scene, so he just let it go in one ear and out the other, without even thinking about it and without leaving a trace, and just sat there quietly.
Anyway, she doesn't rely on anyone to survive, but is the object of others' flattery. This behavior is defined by others as down-to-earth...
Chu Wanfu wanted to fight her, but finally gave up.
The meal was delicious. Chu Wanfu also prepared a song and dance performance. Although the movements and sounds were not as good as before, the basics were still there and it was quite pleasing to the eye.
Apart from one or two main dishes, the rest of the dishes on the table were some homemade stir-fries, a combination of meat and vegetables, with beautiful colors that made them very appetizing.
Each table is served with a bucket of white, crystal clear rice, which is generous and filling.
Xia Yan found that the taste was no worse than the one in her restaurant. It seemed that there was a hint of fireworks in it, which made her feel very comfortable in her stomach.
Not to mention the others, they ate to their heart's content, their mouths full of grease.
Chu Wanfu walked around each table, looked at the empty plates, and waved his hand, "More food!"
“Glorious!”
“Awesome!”
"Brother Chu, I'll follow you from now on!"
He gained enough face.
It was the first time that Xia Yan saw Chu Wanfu so happy. He was probably not so happy even at his wedding ceremony.
After eating and drinking, she strolled to the window and looked at the green grassland in front of her. Several dilapidated houses were collapsed together, and strong wild grass grew on the bricks on the top.
Dozens of zombies in black robes were scattered among them, staggering and searching for fresh flesh and blood.
A mutant rabbit suddenly leaped over the grass, landed on the ground and ran quickly. The rustling sound instantly attracted the zombies to roar and stumble after it.
"One day these monsters will be wiped out, don't you think?" Mr. Shen walked over to her and looked over as well.
Xia Yan responded casually without turning his head: "Yeah."
Outside the window, dozens of zombies pounced on the little rabbit at the same time. Their hideous and terrifying appearance made people feel a complex hatred.
A singer on a stage not far away just sang: "A beautiful future, reach out and touch it, hold it in your arms, tuck it into your heart and treasure it well..."
bite.
The elevator door opened and a soldier hurried out, his eyes searching the crowd quickly. He walked to Chu Wanfu with anxious steps and whispered something in his ear.
Chu Wanfu's face suddenly changed.
